This is a conversion of an open shelf to a cabinet. The open shelf came with the house. It was messy and dusty. I thought about taking it down and building a cabinet to replace it. In the end, this is what I came up with. I’m planning on adding one more shelf in 2 or 3 of the compartments. It won’t take long to fill it, I know that for sure. I was going to paint it all white but after I gave the door frames a coat of shellac I liked how they looked, then I put another coat on and done.

Yes I need to find another place for clamps. I didn’t like it anyway.
Silviu, yes, you’re right, that’s were I grew up.

Cabinets look great, very nice conversion. I like the white panels, they’re good for jotting down project notes or making quick drawings, and easily wipe clean.

Thanks guys. All the materials I used were scraps I had or picked up from the cull lumber cart at HD. Shelf #2 is next in line.

Nice Cabinets.
Are the door panels for dry-erase?

Thanks PaBull. I did not plan for dry erase but I guess I can put some notes and sketches down too. Initially I planned for pegboard but we all know how fast they get “crowded” and I was concerned about weight. I picked out those panels at HD out of the cull lumber cart.
